Me too. Seems like most of the survivors on this thread tune our positions as we go. I feel much clearer and more able to articulate a defensible argument for the death penalty directly as a result of a couple of months of thought after the last time it was discussed. Maybe a better topic would be the "long term or life imprisonment." I can no longer make any sense out of long term or life prison sentences. We either accept our fellow human beings as part of our society and can deal with them or we can't. When we decide their idiosyncracies or behaviors are intolerable we have two choices 1)House of corrections. The goal of which is to change the individual. If the goal is achievable and predictable, then I say fine. We are being responsible to send people to this type of solution. 2)Do away with the individual. Well life imprisonment is a form of doing away. It is no nicer or humane than the death penalty. I, in fact, think it is worse but that ties into my belief system.
